Answer: D

Explanation:

The marketing and corporate communications of suppliers are direct sources of microeconomic information, particularly about individual companies and industry conditions. Other options (RPI, financial market data, etc.) are more aligned with macroeconomic data, focusing on broader economic trends, as outlined in CIPS definitions of micro vs. macroeconomic data sources.
